| Samsung S5L8701 System On Chip (SoC), includes ARM940T central processor, advanced DSP, 50kB boot ROM, 256kB SRAM, external RAM, flash and LCD controllers, USB(1.1-host; 2.0-function) and some other parts. Package: [http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/support/PackageInformation/downloads/SystemLSI/FBGA/232_FBGA_1010_12_05.pdf 232-pin FBGA 10x10mm] or 224/226-pin 9x9mm. Similar chips: [http://www.samsung.com/global/business/semiconductor/productInfo.do?fmly_id=212&partnum=SA58700 SA58700X07].  Some documentation available for the S5L series can be found [[S5L8700 datasheet|here]].

README: This page is deprecated. Refer to our Hardware analysis pages instead.

Although iPods have many other components, here we are only listing the components that might be relavent to cracking firmware encryption. If you have any suggestions for any other components to add, just post on the talk page or IRC. Links to datasheets are important if they can be found. For a visual hardware reference, visit the Hardware annotation page.

For information about the S5L8700 datasheet, see the S5L8700 datasheet page.
